I have really enjoyed retreats and courses with Alexandra. I highly recommend this way of understanding self and others. Deeply spiritual and thought provoking.

Hope all find a moment to be still this week.

-Sunday Prayer-
Happy Birthday Tilden!

"Quiet, contemplative prayer happens when we are still and open ourselves to the Spirit working secretly in us, when we heed the psalmist's plea: "Be still and know that I am God."

I love to start my day with Pray As You Go. Every daily prayer begins with church bells or gongs, followed by music. I was captivated with one of the musicians Paul Zach and The Porter's Gate. Found Paul is "local" in Charlottesville and talked my family into joining me at Paul's perform last night at Christ Episcopal Church with Jessie Fox and Orlando Palmer.

Music creates natural endorphins. If you want to smile, check out Paul's latest "Field Recordings,Vol. 1" in the "wild", talking and singing with the birds. Just beautiful! You can find him on Spotify.
